The event pays homage to the unique lifestyle of the nomadic Bajau Laut (Sea Gypsies), whose cultural legacy has been handed down many generations. The Bajau people participating in the festival can come from various nearby islands, including [Pandanan](https://www.pulaumabul.com/pandanan/), [Timba Timba](https://www.pulaumabul.com/timba-timba-island/), and those in the [Tun Sakaran Marine Park](https://www.pulaumabul.com/tun-sakaran-marine-park/). The Regatta Lepa was declared a national festival in 2003 and attracts locals, foreigners and VIPs including heads of state. ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/regatta-lepa-semporna.webp) A flotilla of colorful boats dot the Celebes Sea as they compete for the title of ‘Most Beautiful Lepa’. ## Regatta Lepa festival highlights The main highlight of the festival is the floating parade of *lepa* boats. Each *lepa* represents a different family and village from the region. Other festival events include marine sporting activities such as the: - *lepa* tug of war; - *kelleh-kelleh* (small dugout boat) race; and - duck catching competition. Celebrations extend into the night, with karaoke, cultural music and *igal-igal* dance performances, beauty pageants, fireworks display and even a ‘Lepa Car’ competition held in Semporna’s stadium. Most [Semporna hotels](https://www.pulaumabul.com/semporna-hotels/) are packed during the week leading up to the festival, so do make a reservation beforehand if you will be traveling here during this period of time. ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/bajau-laut-semporna.webp) Colourful lepa boats deck Semporna’s waterfront, graced by the smiling faces of Bajau Laut dancers and musicians on board. ## The competition A competition is held to pick the most beautifully decorated *lepa*. The winner stands to take home up to 5-figure cash prizes and other goodies including speed boats, boat parts, trophies and certificates. The winner is chosen based on their *sambulayang* (sails), *tipas-tipas* (triangular pennants), *panji-panji* (small rectangular flags) and traditional music and *igal-igal* dance performances. ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/lepa-boat.webp) Intricate carvings adorn the skilfully constructed lepa boats. Musicians and dancers aboard each *lepa* add to the vibrant atmosphere of this marine festival. For some amazing photo opportunities, get up close and personal with the action by renting a boat to follow the parade. ## Lepa boat The [Sea Gypsies](https://www.pulaumabul.com/bajau-laut-sea-gypsies/) are highly skilled at constructing *lepa* boats. Records show that the single-masted *lepa* sailboats have been used by seafarers in the region as early as the 14th century. Much of the Bajau Laut’s lifestyle revolves around their *lepa*, which is used for permanent living as well as fishing, transportation and weddings. ## Gallery ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/Regatta-Lepa-Festival-Sabah.webp) ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/Regatta-Lepa-Festival-Semporna.webp) ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/Regatta-Lepa-Sabah.webp) ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/Regatta-Lepa-Semporna-Jetty.webp) ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/Bajau-Laut-Regatta-Lepa.webp) ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/Regatta-Lepa-Bajau-Laut.webp) ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/Regatta-Lepa-Boat.webp) ![](https://www.pulaumabul.com/wp-content/uploads/Regatta-Lepa-Festival-1.webp) - [Mabul](https://www.pulaumabul.com/) - [About The Island](https://www.pulaumabul.com/about-the-island/) - [Things To Do](https://www.pulaumabul.com/things-to-do/) - [The Sea Gypsies](https://www.pulaumabul.com/bajau-laut-sea-gypsies/) - [Dive Sites](https://www.pulaumabul.com/dive-sites/) - [Muck diving](https://www.pulaumabul.com/muck-diving/) - [Before Your Trip](https://www.pulaumabul.com/topic/travel-info/) - [Stay](https://www.pulaumabul.com/accommodation/) - [5-Stars](https://www.pulaumabul.com/topic/luxury/) - [Mid-Range](https://www.pulaumabul.com/topic/mid-range/) - [Budget](https://www.pulaumabul.com/topic/budget/) - [With Sipadan Permits](https://www.pulaumabul.com/sipadan-resorts/) - [PADI Dive Resorts](https://www.pulaumabul.com/label/padi-dive-shop/) - [Honeymoon](https://www.pulaumabul.com/label/honeymoon/) - [Packages](https://www.pulaumabul.com/packages/) - [Mabul Staycations](https://www.pulaumabul.com/mabul-island-packages/) - [Mabul Snorkelling](https://www.pulaumabul.com/snorkelling-packages/) - [Mabul Diving](https://www.pulaumabul.com/diving-packages/) - [Sipadan Packages](https://www.pulaumabul.com/sipadan-diving-packages/) - [Bohey Dulang Packages](https://www.pulaumabul.com/bohey-dulang-island-package/) - [Dive Courses](https://www.pulaumabul.com/diving-courses/) - [Nearby](https://www.pulaumabul.com/island-hopping-sabah/) - [Sipadan Island](https://www.pulaumabul.com/sipadan-island/) - [Kapalai Island](https://www.pulaumabul.com/kapalai-island/) - [Tun Sakaran Marine Park](https://www.pulaumabul.com/tun-sakaran-marine-park/) - [Bohey Dulang Island](https://www.pulaumabul.com/bohey-dulang-island/) - [Bum Bum Island](https://www.pulaumabul.com/pulau-bum-bum/) - [Semporna](https://www.pulaumabul.com/semporna/) Copyright © 2026 PulauMabul.com \| Stay safe everyone! \| [About](https://www.pulaumabul.com/about-us/) \| [Privacy](https://www.pulaumabul.com/privacy/) Scroll to Top ![]() ![]()
